Gripping the steering wheel and staring off into traffic, area dad Rich Cooper has repeatedly started muttering “we’re late” to nobody specific.
Sources inside the family report confusion at Cooper’s behavior, considering the group is on their way to dinner at a local restaurant and has no table reservation to miss or evening plans to rush for.
“Dad, it’s all good,” said Cooper’s son Josh. “We don’t have anywhere to be.”
Cooper reportedly tried to process this statement before emitting an audible grunt, another “we’re late”, and tightening his grip on the wheel.
“We’re late!” Cooper added, maybe directed towards the driver in front of him who obviously could not hear Cooper from inside her 1995 Honda Civic.
At press time the family had arrived at the restaurant, where Cooper responded to the hostess’ wait estimate of 20 minutes with an exasperated groan of “20 minutes?!”
